A new series of very compact EPCOS X2 capacitors for noise suppression, rated for 275 V a.c. and covering a capacitance range from 33 nF to 1 µF, has been released by TDK. Depending on the capacitance value, the interference suppression components have lead spacings of 10 mm (B32921X*/Y*), 15 mm (B32922X*/Y*) and 22,5 mm (B32923X*/Y*).
Particularly noteworthy are the very compact dimensions ranging from only 4,0 x 9,0 x 13,0 mm (33 nF) to 10,5 x 16,5 x 26,5 mm (1 µF). The capacitors are UL and EN approved and the case and potting materials comply with UL94 V-0. They are also certified to IEC 60384-14:2013 and have a maximum operating temperature of 110°C.
Thanks to their very compact dimensions, the new RoHS-compliant capacitors are suitable for household appliances and consumer electronics in indoor applications.
